Our read on DFVX
ADimensional's value dial, turned up. Roughly 300 large US companies, actively managed, leaning harder into cheap and profitable names than the firm's standard value funds, at a fee well under the active-value norm.
The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Why people hold it
- A 0.19% management fee, a fraction of what the typical active US value fund charges.sec.gov
- "Vector" is Dimensional's turned-up setting: a stronger lean toward smaller, cheaper and more profitable stocks than its standard value lineup, DFLV included.dimensional.com
- About 300 names, tight for a Dimensional portfolio, run actively with daily trading flexibility instead of tracking an index. Distributions come quarterly.sec.gov
- Stands among the stronger implementations in a crowded active US value field on cost and mandate discipline.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded with a mid-sized asset base, so spreads can run wider than at the category's household names.
- Dimensional is upfront that Vector investors accept greater risk of trailing the total market at times. That is the trade for the sharper tilt.dimensional.com
- Launched in 2023, so the live record is short. Cheaper peers exist: AVLV at 0.15% and WTV at 0.12%.
